“…Thus, 100 Pa C,H, in the headspace cannot be used to study gaseous N loss potentials from the aerobically incubated forest soils. Using the single and multiple (once every week) addition of C,H,, Boer et al (1993) showed that the decrease of net N mineralization by C,H, occurred in the uppermost mineral layer of an acid oak-beech forest soil, and this reduction was increased with increasing concentrations of C,H, within a range from 10 to 1,000 Pa C,H,. However, they did not simultaneously measure the variations of microbial biomass N contents in soil.…”
